Mixed grain.
Overlooked by several sets of massive concrete silos at Cecil Plains on Queensland’s Darling Downs, the now closed brain handling facility stands in silent testimony to the changing fortunes and logistics operations supporting the grain growing district.
I was quite fascinated by the loading sign on this old weigh ridge that documented the various types of grain that would be handled through this facility up until superseded by trucks on longer routes in the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s. The whole railway line between here and Oakey was also closed at the same time. See earlier photos.
